Love my Toyota 2018 Rav 4 limited! It is super easy to drive and park, fuel efficient and was priced right. Before that, I had a Toyota Highlander that I just loved!

The 2022 Tucson is amazing....the advanced safety features like blind spot monitor alone is worth it. It is a complete redo from previous models. Since the original poster asked about an SUV, I would consider this or if you want bigger, the Palisade.

Tough time to buy a car now...I am waiting for a year or so. Since cars in Florida here last a long time if well cared for, I'll go for the top of the line bells and whistles.

Why not do a google search and get the real numbers? Just saying.

Honda Clarity - A plug-in Hybrid that seats 5 adults comfortably and has a 40 mi battery range BEFORE the engine kicks in. We've had one for 5 months and have averaged 81 mpg. It's only that low because of 12 trips to Orlando, 3 trips to Tampa, 2 to beaches and three to Disneyworld. Basically, if you are mostly travelling "in the bubble", you won't burn much gas. Oh and gas - it burns Regular...

Honda 2020 CRV EX-L. Great turbo charged engine and gets 43 mpg on trips! This is our third CRV.

Bought a Cadillac XT5 last November and I love it. Last three vehicles…Mercedes GLC300, Tesla Y and BMW X-3. XT5 is my favorite. Tesla was a lemon with factory issues. Lost confidence in them. Dealer actually discounted vehicle 3000 from sticker. Pittsburgh area purchase.

I have a Nissan Murano and love it!

2021 Kia Soul EX. Love it. Our second Soul. Lots of new safety and convenience features: lane assist, blind spot, wireless phone charging, rear cross traffic assist, driver attention. Roomy inside but space saving in the garage. Popular Villages vehicle 🚗. And we belong to the Villages Kia Soul Club!😂

Recently bought a 2021 Toyota Venza hybrid. Very roomy and has a lot of nice safety features. We had never even considered a hybrid before. The battery has an over 100,000 mile total warranty. It gets great gas mileage. We love it!

The OP wants to GET RID OF HIS SUV. Not looking to buy one...
:ohdear::ohdear:

We have a 2019 KIA Sorento EX V6. Our second one. LOVE IT...
:bigbow::ho:

Not necessarily. The OP wants to replace their SUV. I interpreted that to mean that they want to buy another SUV.

Bought a new Subaru Ascent about 13 months ago. Wife always loved compact cars. No issues, easy drive for her and comfortable. Safety features are unparalleled.

For those waiting for a new vehicle order.....

With the chip shortage and delays on preorders, there was always a a delivery date on the order.

If not delivered by a certain date, by law your order is nullified and you get your down payment back.
Is that the way it still works??

Ride
 

2nd BMW X5. Exceptional ride and quality of BMW of Ocala dealership.

A trade in?

With this market now.

Your are trying to Canoe up river with no paddle.

Horrible timing.

You missed the golden window to make that move which passed a month ago.

Best advice.

Put the money into getting it to run great. Rethink in 2 years.

or

PM me I will give you my contact at Phillips.

I currently am driving a Lexus RX350, which I believe is my 5th or 6th Lexus SUV. Both my wife and I have loved each one of them. We have never had a major problem with any of them.

Interesting, I am not sold on an EV because of its range and charging limitations but might consider one of these for our next ride. What is the range on this vehicle? More specifically, how would it work on a two day drive of 11 hours driving per day without having to stop at all to plug it in? Can it make that drive with just an initial charge and then run on gas for the entire two day trip? Is the gas tank big enough to go 300 plus miles between fill ups? Does the vehicles gas engine have a similar horse power, gear ratio, and acceleration as a similar gas only vehicle? I would consider a primarily gas vehicle with an electric supplement for short rides, but I would never consider an electric vehicle with a limited gas supplement only to get you to the next charging station.

I don't think there is a delivery delay law for new vehicle orders. The contract would need to specify a delivery date and state that "time is of the essence". Otherwise, I don't think you will get a refund, even if the contract specifies a delivery date.

Because they’re asking the group for real life experiences here in the area. Why not just scroll on by? Just saying.

I guess I would ask, are you looking for price, options, some people want a color that other manufactures have. Some look at warranty. Some look at consumer report for reliability. I have a 2018 Ford Escape because I worked for Ford for 38 yrs. I bought it because I wanted to support them because they supported me. But I never ever had an issue with any Ford I ever owned. So I say do a little homework & check out the # 1 thing you want, not what someone else drives, because you might like it after you have it, then you’re stuck with it!

We have bought eight Hondas over the years and liked all of them. When we wanted to replace our 2005 Accord with an SUV two years ago, we looked at the new Honda CRV and hated it. It has a tiny 1.5 liter turbocharged engine that is loud, so we didn't get it.

We also looked at a Hyundai Tuscon but the steering was over-boosted and very touchy, just like those horrible cars in the 1970's before they invented variable-assist power steering.

We bought a Toyota RAV4 and my wife and I love it.

Anything made by Toyota / Lexus. Very well made, and last a long time. I had a Toyota Camry for 15 years before it died. It held up VERY well. Had a lot more bonuses in the car than my Altima does.

I don't have an SUV, I wanted one, and was looking for one, but trying to buy a vehicle after Hurricane Harvey was difficult, so I bought a CPO 2015 Nissan Altima. I feel like I've had more problems than I should. A little piece that moves the seat back & forth fell off the first month. The windshield cracked without a rock hitting it. It's under the rubber at the end of the windshield, so I have no idea how that happened.

My sister has had a Toyota Highlander & loved it. Lasted forever. She bought a Nissan Pathfinder. She feels she's had more issues with the Nissan than her Toyota. Although she likes her Nissan, she's going back to Toyota.

If I were to buy an SUV, it would be a Toyota 4 Runner or a Toyota Sequoia.

For just around The Villages I Luv my Chevy Spark 2021. It is small enough to easily fit in the garage with the golf cart and gets 38 mpg Seats go down for hauling things.

Hyundai is your best bet if you plan on keeping it a long time. Well built and an unbelievable warranty

We bought a 2020 Lincoln Corsair in Dec. 2019. Just turned 8,000 miles. We love it. Huge back seat relines and moves 6 inches plus air conditioned front seats. Only change I would make is get the 20 inch tires to improve the ride. Otherwise, terrific. Drove it on a whim and bought on the spot.

If you can wait a while the chip shortage will heal and the supply of vehicles will improve. This should help the prices to come down.
I live near Detroit. The parking lots are full of new cars and trucks waiting for chips. They are in every lot that is available.

We are on our second Subaru Forester and like it very much. In between we had a Ford Escape. Other than the 1,000 pages of instructions, it's performed well. It is considered to be one of the safest vehicles and holds its value well.

OP, definitely a Honda Passport. Our 2020 has all the “bells and whistles”. This is our 4th, no, 5th Honda and you cant beat them for reliability as we had no major issues with any of them. Highly recommend.

Car
 

Honda CR-V love it

We are on our second Ford Explorer. Great vehicle with lots of room. Has mileage not too bad for a bigger vehicle.

Check out a Mazda CX 5 Carbon Turbo AWD. $33,133 with more power and better handling, and better safety rating than a RAV 4.

Honda, 2012, runs looks like new. I wouldn’t replace perfectly good vehicle right now. IMO need to wait year or two for the craziness to blow over.

Currently driving a 2020 Hyundai Palisade full size SUV. Best one we have had so far and we have had Hondas, Acuras, BMW and Fords before it. Great technology in car and good warranty from Hyundai. Unfortunately I was at a dealer last week and they have zero Palisades available.

We had a recall on our Sonata. It was for the engine. They increased the warranty to 120,000 miles.

Got a Villages Car Wash when we returned from Jersey and a big chunk of paint on the roof came off. A common problem on Hyundai's.

Just got another recall about something with the trunk latch.

Other than these PITA items this little piece of junk runs like a champ. They were offering a leather interior for $1000. Naturally, I took it. Very comfortable car to drive. We got 43 MPG on the way back home. I usually don't care but that really amazed me.

Still, if I had to recommend a vehicle to the OP I would have to recommend a FORD product. We've had many F-150's, two Flex's, one Escape, and a Transit Connect Van. Never a big problem with any of them and we put some heavy mileage on them.

I'm switching to the electric pickup from Tesla because I like it. I just hope I don't regret it as I do with the Hyundai.

Best of luck to the OP. Tough time to be buying a new vehicle.

I’m on my 7th Toyota Rav Limited ..never had a problem with any of them.. dealerships have always been great, including Phillips in Leesburg.. I just trade every 3 years or 48,000 miles, whichever comes first.. just like new cars, plus do a lot of highway driving

I have a 2017 Tahoe and love it! Very spacious and comfortable. We drive straight through to and from Indiana, 17+ hours and stay comfortable. It gets 23-24 mph on the road and about 13-15 in town. It pulls my 26ft camper like a champ. I sometimes wish it was a Suburban, but not sure one of those would fit in the garage.

Tesla
 

Just keep your car for six more months and order a Tesla Model Y. If you haven’t checked out Tesla you aren’t finished looking.

2022 Telluride on order. Read only good things (fingers crossed)

Genesis.
